Fire was all Pelli couls see. It had slowly moved from one tree to the next, and now it had come to hers. "Pelli, get out!" Her friend Frilda, another barn owl in the forest, had seen her tree go up in flames. Pelli didn't move, just stared at the fire. She was being fire-blinked! "Pelli, move. Get away from that tree!" But still, she did not move. Frilda finally realized that if she wasn't going to move, that she herself would not be burned to death. Suddenly, Pelli snapped out of her trance. She lifted off from the burning pine, only to discover that her wings were on fire! Like a phoenix, she flew as far as she could, then dropped out of the sky. "Heeeelp....."

Pelli awoke with a start. She was in a great big hollow, surrounded by soft down and moss. "Picked this one up in the big fire over by the Shadow Forest", she heard someone say. Remembering where she had been before was difficult. She had indeed lost every memory of her life before! A large great gray loomed over her. "What's your name?"
"I...I don't know."
"I think I know you," squawked a barred owl in another corner. "You're Pelliweaver, the barn owl who came by my forge once!"

So that was who she was. Before she knew it, everyone was gone. Daylight flooded into the hollow of the great tree. A barn owl came in. "Hello, I'm Soren." Pelli instantely devoloped what could be called a crush on the barn owl Soren. True to herself, as soon as Pelli was fit, she and Soren became mates and had three most wonderful chicks. THE END
